Translated from the French by Gilbert Cannan. In three volumes, each $1.50 net.
This great trilogy, the life story of a musician, at first the sensation of musical circles in Paris, has come to be one of the most discussed books among literary circles in France, England and America.
Each volume of the American edition has its own individual interest, can be understood without the other, and comes to a definite conclusion.

JEAN-CHRISTOPHE

JEAN-CHRISTOPHE IN PARIS
The Market Place—Antoinette—The House
JEAN-CHRISTOPHE: JOURNEY'S END

Some Noteworthy Comments
"'Hats off, gentlemen—a genius.' · One may mention 'Jean-Christophe' in the same breath with Balzac's 'Lost Illusions'; it is as big as that. · It is moderate praise to call it with Edmund Gosse 'the noblest work of fiction of the twentieth century'. · A book as big, as elemental, as original as though the art of fiction began to-day. · We have nothing comparable in English literature. · "—Springfield Republican.
